Andrew Jackson was a southerner, wasn’t he? And he was the driving force behind the expulsion of the Cherokees - witness his famous statement about Marshall enforcing his decision regarding the Cherokees.
**************************
He was a southerner by culture - but he was a statist in ideology, and a totalitarian by nature. Being southern is damn sure no guarantee of quality. To our shame we produced not only Andrew Jackson, but also James Earl Carter and William Jefferson Blythe Clinton. It is not all Sequoyah and Jefferson.
Old Hickory saw first hand the horrible atrocities committed on American civilians by Indian savages who allied themselves with the Redcoats during The Revolutionary War.
In his mind Jackson owed the Indian nothing because they picked the side they were on.
